Buttons are being used as embellish- ments on purses, bags, hats, quilts, flip flops, notebook covers and in a million other creative ways! Come in for all your decorative button needs! One summer day when I was 6, I up and decided I wanted to sew. I found some fabric that my mother never used. She claimed she had it because one day she was going to get around to it. So I took the navy and white striped fab- ric and cut out an apron using no pattern. I then got some salmon colored polyester and cut out a pocket. All after- noon, I hand sewed a hem around the apron, the pocket, and the straps and put it together to the best of my ability. That is the day I became a seamstress. Making that apron really got me interested in learning how to use my mother’s old treadle Singer ma- chine. She still doesn’t sew to this day, but she showed me what she could and I taught myself what I could on my own when she didn’t have the answers. I have been sewing clothing for 17 years now and have only improved since making my first apron. And now I can add quilter to my sewing skills! Quilting is different from sewing clothing. Garment sewing is taking a flat piece of fabric and transforming it to fit the curves of the body. Instead of straight seams, you sew curved seams. Instead of 1/4" seams, you use 1/2" or 5/8” seams. You can press seams open and clip curves. Best of all, you get to wear something you made! - Susan ~~~ Just call me spoiled. After quilting by sewing machine for ages, I have found the joys of long-arm quilting. Manipulat- ing the long arm machine as it glides along its rails the full length or width of a section of quilt is relaxing compared to wrestling the weight of a quilt—even a small quilt—in the confined space of a sewing machine. A ten-foot rail system lets you do up to a king-sized com- forter. Added to that, there is now the help of a quilting robot. Choose a pattern and you have the versatility of making it fit the space you need to fill. The Q-Bot will automatically adjust your pattern when you tell it where you want it to go. You can do whole borders, all over designs, or custom individual blocks without the painstaking marking process.

I absolutely love living in the Midwest where we have changing seasons. Just as I am about to tire of one sea-son, another seems to sneak right in there, giving us new colors, smells, and even an

opportunity to change our wardrobe! I do like summer shoes the best but … I love colorful scarves and layering tops and jackets (without getting too hot!) and that is why I am looking forward to Fall and Winter. So you say - she must be crazy! Call me crazy and you would be 80% cor-rect. My goodness, most of the time I do not even know what month it is - let alone the season. When you have the great privilege of ordering fabric, your seasons are all mixed up. We order Christmas fabric beginning in January, Spring fabrics in June...well you get the picture. Anyway, Fall is going to be quickly upon us and it’s time to get going SEWING!

And technology has gone even further with the addition of 4D Quilt Design Creator. You can design your own special quilt designs. You can import pictures and quick trace de-signs. It lets you design for multiple formats of quilt robots and even design for your embroidery machine in a running stitch or triple stitch. This is a wonderful program. When you take into account the cost of getting a quilt done for you, the machine will pay for itself. And you don’t have to be on a waiting list if you have one in your own home. I am happy to have found the joys of long-arm quilting and you will be too. –Laura

~~~ Many articles have been written on the benefits of having a hobby. If you have ever needed to feel validation for the

time or expense of your sewing or quilt-ing hobby, let me offer the following reasons why your hobby is so impor-tant to your physi-cal, mental and emotional well-being.

1. Reduces stress - Stress can lead to illness and even early death. A hobby lets you escape from your prob-lems for a while. When you return, problems may not seem so overwhelming.

2. Improves your social life – You will meet people with similar interests and develop friendships.

3. Gives you an outlet for an innate need to be creative. 4. Gives you a sense of competence and accomplish-

ment. 5. Gives you the satisfaction of making something special

for someone special. 6. Keeps your mind active by learning new techniques or

figuring how much fabric is needed for a specific use. 7. It’s fun! Life is too short to work all the time. So do yourself a favor. Allow yourself time and resources to do something you really enjoy. Your quality of life will be improved, and you will be a healthier, more well-rounded person! -Linda

I have the best job at SEW BIZ…why you may ask??? I get to open all the boxes of cool stuff that comes in! It’s like Christmas every day! Speaking of Christmas & cool stuff here are a couple of things that are already on my Christ-mas wish list…

• Steady Betty-OH MY GOSH! EVERY quilter needs,

must have, can’t do without a Steady Betty! She is the most amazing thing since cinnamon toast! Talk about being able to press without stretching your fabric, Betty holds everything in place so your quilt or quilt project will turn out perfect!

• Golden Hands Super Board-this is an ironing board that fits on top of your existing ironing board. It has a rectangle shape so when you are pressing your quilt you have a straight surface! I have tried this at the shop! AMAZING!!!! You gotta have one even if you just quilt a little!

• Turn it all- fabric tube turner (well I do have to confess that this one was too cool to wait till Christmas… I went ahead and purchased it!) Come in and I will demonstrate this amazing tool for you. IT IS AWESOME!!!!

• Designer Ruby Machine-Hey a girl has to dream big, right!!! Lots of designs + lots of options= Lots of fun!!! Can’t wait to have one!

• AND a SEW BIZ Gift Certificate! – Of course gift certificates are available year round for birthdays, Mother’s Day, or JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE A GREAT PERSON day!

Ok, so that is my wish list (so far), but here are some more “COOL TOOLS” that are must haves and would be great stocking stuffers!

-The Purple Thang -Frixion Iron off Marker (comes in a variety of colors)

stop in for a demonstration of these amazing pens!

-Point turner -4” Embroidery Scissors to keep by your machine to

snip threads (I can never find my scissors when I want them, so I keep these right by my ma-chine…problem solved!)

-Bobbin Savers -Grabbit

Well, I think I have given you a good start! Re-member to stop in weekly and check out the new patterns, fab-rics, and projects that Linda, Laura, Susan, and RuthAnne are working on. We love seeing you! And bring your sewing & quilting projects to share with us! You know... DRAG AND BRAG! - Bev
